CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa,
Sept. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- U-Haul Company of Iowa is
offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box container usage to
residents of Cedar Rapids,
Cedar Falls, Waterloo, and surrounding areas who have or
will be impacted by flooding.
Northeast Iowa has taken on
considerable water from ongoing storms and some communities have
been evacuated, creating the need for safe, secure and dry
self-storage options where people can keep their possessions.
"We have had massive storms the last couple of days and there is
more rain in the forecast," U-Haul Company of Iowa president Randy
Dickson said. "We are well above the flood stage already.
People are already evacuating their homes.
"U-Haul is here to serve local communities, so we are privileged
to help these families during times of disaster and severe weather
by providing secure self-storage at no charge for 30 days to those
affected."
Four U-Haul locations are participating in the offer. Families
